Facing the unscrupulous Li Mu, Chu Shufeng and the deputy generals of the black-armored army all dropped to their knees without hesitation. Chu Shufeng, in particular, was the newly appointed deputy county magistrate of Taibai County, whose status was lower than Li Mu's. Therefore, he did not feel guilty about kneeling down.
Ning Zhongshan, the new Dianshi janitor who was being dragged aside, felt a chill run down his spine. He closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Li Bing was totally scared out of his wits. He was shivering and had a premonition of his impending doom.
If he could be given another choice, he would definitely run away from Taibai County, the nightmare place, as soon as he was rescued from the county government prison. He would run as far as possible and never come back here again. As for revenge, he did not want to mention it again.
Mr. Zheng, the highest-ranking person on the scene, had his legs broken and was lying on the ground like a dog. What else could the others do?
Only the deputy generals of the black-armored army felt indignant.
But after witnessing Li Mu's unstoppable strength, what else could they do?
They did not think they were more intimidating than Mr. Zheng. Since Li Mu dared to humiliate Mr. Zheng, breaking their legs would be a piece of cake for him.
A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him.
They all lowered their heads and dropped to their knees.
Li Mu, who was standing on a high place, glanced at those people and sneered.
"A bunch of cowards with less than five points of combat capability. How dare you play tricks? What a bunch of idiots!"
He made the most direct comment on Zheng Cunjian, Chu Shufeng, and the others.
At that moment, Zheng Cunjian stopped wailing. He looked dispirited and embarrassed, lying on the ground without saying a word.
But the eyes of the Heartless Scholar were as vicious as those of a viper. He fixed his eyes on Li Mu, as if he was trying to memorize Li Mu's appearance.
Li Mu did not care about that at all.
A few years ago, when he was working in the slaughterhouse in the village, he was not proficient at slaughtering pigs. When the pigs that could not be stabbed to death were driven mad by the pain, the ferocity in their eyes was much more terrifying than Zheng Cunjian's.
Even the look in their eyes was inferior to that of a pig. What was there to be afraid of?
In comparison, Li Mu was more concerned about the little attendant's specific injuries.
He came up to Qing Feng, looked at the doctor who had finished the examination, and said, "How's the injury?"
The doctor's expression was complicated. He looked at Qing Feng with an indescribable admiration and said, "Little Childe deserves to be His Excellency's follower. His injury is so serious, but he still looks normal. It's as shocking as that day when His Excellency pulled out an arrow to heal him …"
After sighing with emotion for a while, he finally realized what Li Mu was concerned about and hurriedly said, "Your Honor, don't worry too much. Most of the injuries on Young Master's body are superficial. He only needs to apply medicine, rest, and nourish his body with food. His life is not in danger. But, but …"
As he spoke, the doctor's tone became a little hesitant.
"But what?" Li Mu vaguely sensed the uneasiness in his tone.
"It's just that there are two strangulation marks on both of Young Master's legs. The marks are deep to the bones. Because of the long period of time, the bones and flesh of his lower limbs are necrotic. I'm afraid that I can't guarantee … Moreover, his teeth were knocked out by a blunt object. With Young Master's age, it'll be difficult for them to grow back. He'll need to install dentures."
The doctor was very tactful.
But Li Mu's mind exploded, and he understood what he meant.
"Little attendant Qing Feng is likely to lose his legs?"
"Will he … become disabled?"
"Impossible. Just now, this little guy was standing so straight and steady. How could he?"
Li Mu did not care about anything else. He lifted up the little attendant's robe and took a look. Then, he was almost drowned in anger.
It turned out that under the robe, the muscles on the little attendant's legs had become black and blue. Obviously, most of them had been necrotic. Black blood oozed out, and the necrotic muscles seemed to fall off at any time. The reason why he could stand so straight and steady was that several iron bars were installed on his legs, which fixed his muscles and his whole upper body in place.
"Such injuries …"
"Even on Earth, in the era of extremely advanced modern medical skills, amputation is the only option, isn't it?"
"Young Master, I … I'm fine. I … please don't … be impulsive. I …" The little attendant's face became paler and paler. He began to look a little absent-minded, his vision blurred, and his body swayed.
The reason why he had been holding on before was that he did not want to bring trouble to Li Mu, nor did he want Li Mu to do something too impulsive. But now, everything was exposed. He knew he could not hide it from Li Mu, so he inevitably relaxed. Although his life was not in danger, he was about to lose consciousness.
Li Mu felt more and more guilty.
"Is there any way to save his legs?" Li Mu looked at the doctor.
The doctor revealed an awkward expression as he pondered. After a long time, he said, "Excessive blood loss, muscle necrosis, and injury to the foundation, it will be very, very difficult to save the upper leg, unless there is a legendary divine herb or immortal medicine that contains great vitality. Perhaps there is a slim chance of survival, but that kind of divine herb or immortal medicine can only be found by chance, not sought. None of the big medicine merchants in the county have it, only the Imperial Divine Sect, perhaps …"
Magic herbs and magic herbs were all rare treasures in the world. Naturally, they were owned by the superiors, such as the royal family of the empire, the super sects, and so on.
Such a statement almost cut off all possibilities.
Li Mu rubbed between his eyebrows, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind.
"Rob the royal clan?"
"There's not enough time, and I may not be able to get it."
"Buy it at a high price?"
"I don't know how long I have to wait."
All kinds of ideas seemed to be unrealistic.
"Magic herbs with strong vitality, magic herbs with strong vitality …"
"Wait, strong vitality?"
An idea suddenly flashed in Li Mu's mind.
He looked at the doctor and said, "As long as there is something with strong vitality to replenish the vitality of Qing Feng's origin, it doesn't have to be magic herbs, right?"
"Well …" The doctor was stunned. He thought carefully and said, "That's true. In theory, it's feasible. But generally, only natural treasures such as magic herbs and magic herbs contain strong vitality …"
"That's it." After hearing that, Li Mu directly went down and drew a long sword from the waist of a black-armored soldier who was kneeling on the ground. Then, he backhanded the sword and stabbed his own wrist.
"Clang!"
There was a sound of metal colliding.
The tip of the long sword was chipped off.
"What?"
Li Mu was stunned.
That black-armored soldier didn't react for a moment and was startled.
And the others were also puzzled by the county magistrate's action.
"What's going on?"
"Why did the county magistrate suddenly hurt himself?"
"Damn it, so hard?"
Li Mu waved the broken sword and cut himself several times in a row on his arm. But in the strange sound of metal colliding, the sword broke like a clay sculpture, leaving only the sword hilt.
That made Li Mu a little crazy.
For a long time, Li Mu actually did not have an obvious and accurate estimation of the improvement of his strength after each breakthrough, because the cultivation system on this Martial Art Star was actually quite different from the two cultivation systems the old faker taught him. Just like this time, after he broke through the third style of the Zhenwu Boxing, Cracking the Sky, he had not tested how strong his physique had become.
Therefore, he did not expect that his skin and flesh had become so tough that even a sharp sword could not cut through it.
"What should I do?"
The expression on Li Mu's face was a little embarrassed.
As for the others, they were all dumbfounded by what they saw.
Even Zheng Cunjian, the Heartless Scholar, was no exception.
"This Li Mu is a monster, isn't he?"
Although he didn't know what was wrong with Li Mu, when the sharp sword cut on his arm, not only did it not break his skin and flesh, but also shattered the long sword. "That … that is the sword of the black-armored soldier, carefully crafted by the skilled craftsmen of Chang 'an. It is said that it can cut a hair, but it can't break his flesh and blood?"
"Is this Li Mu a monster?"
Some black-armored soldiers, Chu Shufeng, Ning Zhongshan, and the others who pretended to be dead all gasped. Just now, a little bit of resistance rose in their minds, but at this moment, all disappeared.
"How can we fight against such a monster who is invulnerable to weapons?"
Li Mu really didn't think that much.
Feeling a little disappointed, he tossed the long sword aside. It was a pity that he didn't have any magic weapons with him. After thinking it over, he put his fingers together like a sword and operated the mental cultivation method of the Heart Heavenly Shoot. With the help of the Xiantian Skill, a wisp of metallic luster appeared on his fingertip.
Although Li Mu had just acquired the mental cultivation method of the Heart Heavenly Shoot, after discussing it with Guo Yuqing, he already had a deep understanding of it. In addition, his body was freakishly strong, so he was very receptive to all kinds of martial arts. Therefore, in just a few days, he had achieved a certain level of mastery of the mental cultivation method of the Heart Heavenly Shoot.
He gently scratched his wrist with his metal-like finger.
His skin was cut open without a sound.
Blood gushed out.
Li Mu came to the doctor and dripped his blood into a medicine bowl. In the blink of an eye, the bowl was half full.
A faint smell of blood permeated the air.
"Your honor, this is …" The doctor was surprised.
He discovered that the blood in the bowl was a little strange. It seemed to be filled with a faint blood-colored mist, like a dancing flame. This did not seem to be human blood at all. Due to the close distance, the doctor could even vaguely feel that there was a faint scorching aura in the blood.
"My blood contains strong vitality. Give it a try. Maybe it can save Qing Feng's legs." Li Mu said, grimacing in pain.
The feeling of his wrist being cut was really painful.
Because of the Xiantian Skill and the flood dragon's blood, even Guo Yuqing couldn't stop praising Li Mu's vitality. Li Mu's blood was vigorous, so there must be strong vitality in his blood. At this time, Li Mu had to make every possible effort. As for whether the blood type matched or not, he didn't care anymore. After all, this was not a blood transfusion.
Only then did the doctor understand that Li Mu cut his wrist to draw blood for this purpose.
"I will do my best."
The doctor was shocked and moved.
It was rare to see a benevolent official willing to cut his wrist for a little attendant in this world. Moreover, judging from Li Mu's action just now, the doctor had no doubt that if Li Mu really had magic herbs, he would not hesitate to use them to prolong the little attendant's life.
At this time, the little attendant was a little unable to hold on and lost consciousness.
"Take him to the back office." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He still had something to worry about. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "He needs a quiet place to heal. Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu, and Zhen Meng, take them to the back office and let them rest. There will be no more trouble here."
Before his voice died away —
"Oh? I'm afraid not. "
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the county government without warning.
At this time, Zheng Cunjian, who had been silent, burst out a strange light in his eyes, and his face showed an irrepressible joy.
"Finally, it's here!"
